Cavs Vs Warriors Finals Don't Even Feel Like They're About the Teams

[Nilocon165]

It's basically just like "How can Lebron overcome the odds this time?"

2015 was pretty much "How can Lebron win without his 2nd and 3rd option gone?"

2016 was "How can Lebron overcome the odds by beating a 73 win team down 3-1"

Now 2017 will be "If Lebron pulls this off against the stacked Durant Warriors, is he the GOAT?"

No agenda here, just saying it's crazy how we have these 2 historically great teams, and all anyone seems to care about is Lebron.

Just greatness I guess though...

Its even deeper than that,

Cavs vs warriors is basically lebron trying to save the NBA from this new era soft ass 3 point chucking that the warriors have been doing.

haha. the ****in TRUTH baby

Lebrons last 2 finals gave him the biggest legacy boost ever. Unreal statline. Unreal performances. Unreal accomplishment.

And it will happen AGAIN.

Thank you warriors for pushing LeBron into the top 3 this easily with his 3 rings. Without them, it would have taken Lebron 4-5 rings to get there.

LeBron to me is #2 all time. You give him this year. This year. All things considered. He is offically neck and neck with MJ. As in, no matter what, if someone calls MJ the goat, it's just preference over Lebron. If you say LeBron is the GOAT, its just preference over MJ.

It's almost as if he doesn't have a teammate who averaged 27+ points in The Finals and 30 on 53/52/100 splits in their last three games after falling behind 1-3.

LeBron is an amazing player, but he sure as hell isn't doing it by himself.

Kyrie was able to average this because lebron drew more defensive attention, Without lebron the cavs don't even make the playoffs, Instead they beat 73-9 warriors after being down 3-1 thats GOAT impact.

I'm not arguing anything. I'm simply saying that the narratives and media make it feel like it's all about lebron rather than the teams competing.

Irving doesn't get mentioned enough, but hte reason Irving is put into that position is because of the attention LeBron commands. Irving just excelled in his role and accepted it. Hopefully after reading an article a few days ago Love is ready to do the same. Sometimes the team will need him to score 25 points, sometimes rebound and defend like he did in game 7.

No other PG in the world is capable of that stat-line in the finals. Unbelievable performance. Thoroughly outplayed and embarrassed the unanimous MVP while being 4 years younger with less finals experience.

Some guys are just made for the finals... their styles.. their mentalities... the finals really highlight and expose who the true alphas are. Irving was made to play like a beast under those conditions. Beta Steph who chucks 3's in a system, was made to get shit on under those conditions... because he's too weak to earn points with physical toughness and too much of a choker to stay calm and actually hit the few open looks he got.

MONSTER

Never seen someone rise to the occasion like Kyrie did. Putting on an offensive exhibition and a show for the fans.

Kyrie is amazing and was definitely the offensive spark that the Cavs needed to get everyone else involved.
